Chapter 1013: Chapter 999: Running Into a Scam

So when Su Xuan casually asked about the other car back then, he still wasn’t really paying attention, so he unconsciously revealed the bottom price. It was almost a subconscious action, completely unintentional, just to attract Su Xuan to buy the better one, but unexpectedly, what Su Xuan really wanted was the lesser one.

At this moment, the shopkeeper really wanted to say he got the price wrong, that it was 1,500 yuan, but thinking about it, there’s no way but to close the deal.

When Su Xuan was pushing the cart out of the store, Li Qingxue looked at Su Xuan with disdain and weakly said.

“Su Xuan, I have to ask, did you study psychology?”

For Su Xuan’s abilities now, Li Qingxue was at a loss for words. This guy was too good at talking nonsense, managing to pull off such an impressive feat with just a purchase, completely playing with the shopkeeper.

“No, I studied finance, but I took a minor in psychology. How’s that, pretty decent skills, right?”

Su Xuan flashed a faint smile, and as soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingxue pouted, feeling like she couldn’t quite see through this guy; Su Xuan felt too deep and unfathomable.

“Alright, seeing as you accompanied me car shopping today, I’m agreeing to do my exclusive interview happily.”

Su Xuan said mischievously, getting ready to leave.

“Hey, you’re just going to leave me like that!”

Li Qingxue weakly said, feeling something was off. How come I’d just suddenly be ditched by this guy.

“Huh, listen to you. How could I be ditching you? Look at how devoted I am. See my eyes? They’re full of love!”

“…”

Li Qingxue was instantly speechless, thinking to herself, get out of here, I’m not talking about that at all, okay?

“No, I’m not saying that. I’m saying you just left me here, and I can’t catch a ride from here.”

Li Qingxue was speechless, thinking to herself, Su Xuan, oh Su Xuan, can you not be so shameless, making me sound like a resentful woman.

“Oh, so that’s it, huh? Gosh, being too handsome is really a crime. Just think, I’m too handsome, and you admire my talent so much. I thought you’d deeply fallen for me. Turns out I’m narcissistic. This is kind of awkward.”

Su Xuan said wiping his sweat, as if feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Seriously, Su Xuan, you’re my bro, I’m really impressed. Now I finally understand how you manage to fool even the beggars with this mouth of yours; probably you could even talk a sow into climbing a tree.”

“Haha, listen to you, so I’m that good, huh? Fine then, seeing as you’re praising me so much, I’ll begrudgingly agree!”

Su Xuan smiled calmly and then continued.

Li Qingxue didn’t want to say anything anymore; what could she possibly say? Speaking to this guy, she could never win.

Sitting on the back of the bike, Su Xuan pedaled slowly forward, a gentle breeze brought a faint sense of happiness. In that moment, Li Qingxue suddenly felt that being with this guy wasn’t so bad; although he was narcissistic, he didn’t make her feel annoying.

“Su Xuan, wait, look, there are chairs for sale, only fifteen yuan each. My grandpa has always wanted this kind of recliner.”

Just then, they saw some bamboo recliners for sale on the roadside, priced at fifteen yuan, and immediately wanted to buy some.

“Ugh, you really believe that? That’s obviously a scam!”

Su Xuan smirked, even though he didn’t know exactly what’s going on, he believed there’s no free lunch in the world, and every scam starts with small bargains.

“This, this can’t be. Look, they even have samples out. Let’s go, accompany me to buy a few. My grandpa and grandma and both sets of grandparents miss this kind; they expired long ago and can’t even buy them now.”

Li Qingxue still believed the mortal world was beautiful, that bad people were the minority. Furthermore, he thought these days even if there were scammers, they wouldn’t be so blatant in the streets like this.

He thought Su Xuan was just being lazy, not wanting to roam around with him, hence saying so.

“Seriously, this is really a scam. Think about it, how could you possibly get this thing done for fifteen yuan? You don’t find that suspicious?”

Su Xuan weakly asked, and when he said this, Li Qingxue pursed her lips and replied.

“Well, well let’s at least go have a look. The money’s in our pockets; if they’re scammers, I want to see how they’re scamming.”

Li Qingxue hurriedly said.

“Alright then, I see you’re not stopping until you see the coffin. Since you want to go so much, let’s go have a look.”

Su Xuan spoke and stopped near a store with a sign outside, and at that moment the shopkeeper spotted someone stopping, quickly coming out to greet them with a smile.

“Boss, are your recliners really fifteen yuan each?”

Su Xuan’s reminder made Li Qingxue a little alert, not so impulsive now. At this moment, still a bit cautious, thinking if there’s something wrong, she’ll leave immediately.

“Yes, we mainly source them, so the price is relatively low. These out here are samples. If you two need, you can go in and take a look.”

The shopkeeper said with a smile, while Li Qingxue glanced at Su Xuan, seeming to seek his opinion, but to her surprise, the guy was happily playing with his phone, leaving her speechless, thinking to herself he’s probably flirting again.

“Then let’s take a look inside!”

Li Qingxue said with a smile and followed the shopkeeper inside, while Su Xuan didn’t go in but went to a nearby small shop and bought some eggs, then cheerfully followed in.

Upon entering the shop, Su Xuan saw that it was stuffed with many items, looking very crowded, with a narrow aisle in the center surrounded by some root carvings and things like Jade Ruyi.

Seeing this scene, Su Xuan smiled faintly. By this time the shopkeeper had already gone inside, and Li Qingxue followed. As she entered, she was quite excited, thinking today she’s picked a big bargain.

Until now Li Qingxue still thought it must be genuine, couldn’t possibly be fake.

Just as Li Qingxue walked a few steps inside, suddenly there was a loud crash as if she accidentally bumped into it, the rack beside the aisle directly toppled, and the Jade Ruyi broke along with a root carving splitting in half.

Li Qingxue was startled, and the shopkeeper seemed even more nervous, quickly turning and saying.
